Titanic's last lunch menu for sale at auction

August 31, 2015 20:59

No-one who attended what turned out to be the final first-class luncheon on the Titanic is likely to have gone away hungry. The meal consisted of corned beef, dumplings, grilled lamb chops, and other delights such as veal and ham pie and a cheese board consisting of eight separate varieties. There was chilled Munich lager to wash it all down.

This week it was announced that menu from the lunch, saved by a passenger who climbed aboard the so-called "money boat' lifeboat before the ocean liner went down, is to go on sale. Auctioneers estimate it will fetch between $50,000 (Rs 3.32 lakh) and $70,000 (Rs 4.62 lakh), but say the price could be higher.
